Cigar storage question

md4958 · 10-26-2008, 05:28 PM

I think opening the cooler up once every couple weeks wouldnt be a bad idea... get a little air exchange going

I would have her check it and add some water here and there...

Opening the cooler every couple weeks is good, but it will allow humidity to escape, so you better teach the wife to hydrate the beads.

Or, you could send them all to me and I'll take good care of em for ya

Thanks, but no offense, I trust my wife more. Because she doesn't smoke

My wife doesn't smoke either ..so she could "watch them" for ya ...hehe

Seriously though as long as you show her how to watch the hygrometer and such once a week check up on them should be good.

I would have my wife check the RH every week, and humidify the beads when needed. If your wife is like mine, she knows how much you care about your smokes and she will care for them as if they were her first born child.

You should be fine if you show your wife how to take care of the beads. I had to have my dad take care of my humi when I was in Gettysburg as it was too hot down there to have them in my apartment. I was really scared at first to let anyone touch my babies but when I got home he didn't f em up and they were in perfect condition.

I have a pound of beads in my cooler and I very seldom have to add water. Maybe once every 2 months and I'm in the cooler a lot. Just a quick spray with a little distilled water goes a long way.

Thanks to everyone for the info, and the offers to take care of my sticks

I bought my cooler today (48qt Coleman), washed it and now just letting it dry out.
